The perfect soundtrack for a summer roadtrip in an old car across Death Valley. Calexico's musical textures are woven out of a dazzling array of instruments and styles, including mariachi trumpets, countrified pedal steel, Latin jazz percussion, and carnival organ, just to name a few. The songs move at siesta speed, casually looping and loping along, never getting overheated. Bandmates Joey Burns and John Convertino have their hands in so many musical pies--including projects with OP8, Giant Sand, Victoria Williams, Giant Sand, and Richard Buckner--one wonders how they find the time to create the sun-soaked music of Calexico. But thank God they have. --Tod Nelson

I'm a fan of everything Calexico does. At times innovative. At times psychadelia meets sergio leonne. At times just mariachis strumming while you drink a shot of Mezcal at XXX Kentucky Bar in Nogales.

When we think of Calexico everyone can be asked what are your expectations? these guys are not going to fill your portable stereo with pop but the groove is more like that of the Jamaican reggae producers. I love this album, it's my 'haunt the room with desert' album and can see now what these guys contributed to Giant Sand.

Awesome, Awesome cd!! If you like slow instrumental music that has a mexican sound you'll adore this. The song Over Your Shoulder is by far my favorite, it was worth the money just for that song. There are some songs that have vocals as well. If you put the cd on it kind of just sweeps you to another place.
